Soccer Picks Liverpool -500 vs. Cardiff City

Luis Suarez and the Reds are in devastating form as they get
ready to host Cardiff this weekend. Have we found the best soccer betting
value?

Odds Overview

A brief glance at the soccer odds and we see Liverpool in
and around -500 to win straight up at Anfield. Cardiff can be backed at a price
as high as +1400, while the draw is at +550.

Liverpool

Another fantastic performance from the Reds saw them thump
Tottenham 5-0 at White Hart Lane on Sunday. It was certainly the best match
from Liverpool so far in this campaign.

Andre Villas-Boas could only look on helplessly as the Reds
dominated from start to finish. Luis Suarez scored twice and Jordan Henderson,
John Flanagan and Raheem Sterling also got goals in the victory.

A red card for Paulinho didn't help, but that's not why
Liverpool won. They played with intensity from the get go, pressuring
relentlessly to get the ball back and then making the right decisions going
forward in attack.

Suarez was sensational once again. He's now scored 17 league
goals in 11 appearances and is showing no signs of slowing down. The Uruguayan
was given the captain's armband in place of the injured Steven Gerrard and
we're eager to see if he gets it again this weekend.

What Brendan Rodgers has to be most excited about is the
performance of some of his younger players, including Sterling, Henderson and
even Joe Allen. All three were instrumental in the victory in London and will
be featured in the starting XI again on Saturday. Will they help Liverpool
improve their already splendid (seven wins, one loss) form at Anfield? Being so highly favored, it would seem that the sportsbooks think so.

Cardiff City

The Blackbirds took advantage of West Brom's poor form to
win 1-0 at home last weekend, a much-needed result for Malky Mackay's gang whom
had not won in five matches.

Another raucous crowd at Cardiff City Stadium was on hand to
see the win, with Peter Whittingham's header midway through the second half
proving to be the difference. Whittingham now has two goals and a team-leading three
assists in Premier League play this season.

Those three crucial points mean the Blackbirds are in 15th
place, with four wins, five draws and seven losses in total through 16
fixtures.

However, not only has Cardiff been struggling to score goals
(just 12 in all this term), they've been quite poor away from home as well. In
eight away matches they've recorded a single win, while scoring four goals and
allowing in 12.

Of course, that's not a good omen ahead of this trip to
Anfield, where the in-form Reds await their next challenge. Can Cardiff pull
off a surprise result and hold Suarez and Liverpool at bay?

Premier League Pick

We really like what the Blackbirds have been doing as a
newly promoted side, but they're likely to run into a wall at Anfield on
Saturday.

Liverpool is playing terrific soccer right now, even with
Gerrard and Sturridge out, and it's not like they have any other competitions
to worry about. The Reds should be fully rested and prepared for this visit of
Cardiff.

With Liverpool having lost just once at home this term,
Suarez in unstoppable form, and the Blackbirds leaving a lot to be desired with
their showings outside of Wales, we're envisioning another dominating win for
Brendan Rodgers' outfit. To get the best bang for your buck though, consider
taking Liverpool to win by two or more goals for your soccer pick.
